Mandos mandatory for GC now?

Honestly, I wasn't surprised by the BAM feats every other GC. I am a little surprised that instead of rotating factions, they have the same faction every other GC. It's almost like they are intentionally trying to make the game mode less interesting and more repetitive.

I mean I realize that the game is Star Wars: Grinding of Heroes, but this seems an odd choice....even for CG.

GC was a fun game mode in the beginning. But it's going downhill. What a pity to see what it's becoming.

What happened to Galaxy of Hoarding?

Tough decision whether to put some resources into getting Beskar Mando to ensure maximum GC rewards or just hoard and ignore

I'm going for hoard and ignore myself

Character collecting game. Collect them all and get them all to 7*.

I have all my mando’s (aside from Armourer) at 7*. That doesn’t get me the red crate ;)

Same, but my 3* Armorer did get me the red crate.

You can still be annoyed even as you are not surprised.

My point wasn't about the rewards - hence the comment about understanding and being okay with the BAM feats. It was actually about the game play and enjoyment of the game mode.

Making Mandalorians (especially when there is only a handful) the "featured" faction in 4 of the 8 GCs this month seems unnecessarily repetitive. Even if you have Mandalorians at the levels needed to succeed, it's just monotony when faction variety would have worked and been more fun.

If it's not about the rewards, use whatever faction you want.

Wait and see.

My guess is that it’s Mandalorians this month because 1) the faction tag is new and 2) people are still getting Beskar Mando.

Next month it’ll probably be another featured faction/character.

Another tasteless tactic brought to you by CG. Expect GC to always be heavily dependent on the newest releases going forward.

Technically it should be: expect 50% of the GC to only reward the top tier box if you have the newest releases, otherwise during those GC you only get the 2nd best box.

Though, my Armorer is g8 3* and Beskar is g8 and I got the top tier box this go 'round.

You should expect GC to get more dependent on their new marketing plan. I would even expect future GC to maintain current dependence on Mandos while adding in the next new release. Then Mandos will drop out of the GC rotation when the NEXT next new release happens. And so on. Keep chasing the carrot.

We've been chasing the carrot for over 5 years. At least they aren't actually mandatory like they used to be. Now they are only mandatory for the best box. Second box is do-able without the whatever.

Does that mean if you don't have decent mando characters moving forward you can kiss bye bye to the red crate?

That applies to all player factions, not just mandos

This goes against what they promised, GC was going to use all of ur roster not 1 faction for half of them, this just shows that CG knows no bounds and will be greedy as hell. I'm so glad I went f2p last year

Nothing is stopping you from using all your roster.

Congrats on your f2p status i guess.
